Stated retail is up in ACR/SCAR range.

Saw the banner ad, clicked on it, liked the look A LOT.
In their product listing I like that one of the images is a full sized carbine with obvious dings in the finish.  
Not joking.  Not being sarcastic.
I'm not shelling out more than $1600 for that combination of parts but I dig that lower and might built it almost just like the picture.

Anyone have one?  
If so, is it a decent billet lower like a POF or one of the other boutique lowers?


BTW, Sharps, if you're reading this, your right side product image is a wee bit too big.
It doesn't scale or scroll when I view it in Chrome on a 1680x1050 monitor.

Not sure I see why anyone would dump $2600 on their rifle, when you can have an LMT Piston or LWRC M6A2 or M6A3 for a good bit less.  The 5R bareel sounds good, but other ARs are sub MOA accurate already, so trhey really don't need any help.

Does it come in a .45-70?  a Quigley model?

Hell would freeze over before I would pay that much for a factory AR15

For that much cash I could by a SCAR 16s and still have money to put towards a optic...

$2700

I don't like it one bit. The trigger guard looks very thin and it looks like they shrunk the trigger guard area a bit with that weird strap on the front side. What is with that "QD" rail and the long tapered lo-pro gas block?

I'll pass.

IMHO, they remind me of Les Baer when they entered the AR15 market. Totally misread the market and brought in product over priced and what nobody was asking for.

I think like Les Baer, most average shooters will only see one and it will usually be in some dealers case sitting there for the next 5+ years trying to sell it and vowing to never restock with one again.

Tube-fed, and the loading gate is accessed through the mag well.

Probably a stock photo from the company that manufactures the stand, but still....

I seriously considered one a while back and their 25-45 cartridge is intriguing. My issue is I can afford it but wont pay that much. I have several Colts and Armalites that shoot tiny groups and are extremely reliable. Just cant bring myself to drop the coin. I could build a Larue stealth with a nice optic and mags for that. I see their prices dropping in the near future.

Its a known fact that if you put a piston on an AR15 you can charge an extra 1500 dollars. True story.

then it MIGHT be worth  that much –––––––––– Geez , you could almost buy a real Sharps for the price of this new upstart.        


Larue upper - 1200 bucks,  Larue lower - 250 bucks - miscellaneous parts to complete Larue lower - 500 bucks (including a Geiselle trigger or something similar) ––-  $1950 before optics  - case closed

You could build that same rifle for about 40% of their asking price. Their gunsmiths must be rich!
